AP Exam
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program enables high school students to engage in college-level coursework and earn college credit upon successful completion of exams. Achieving qualifying AP Exam scores can lead to tuition savings, reduced time to degree completion, and enhanced recognition during college admissions. AP courses span a wide range of academic disciplines. To determine a specific college’s AP credit and placement policies, students can utilize the AP Credit Policy search tool.
AP Exams are administered annually in May, following a schedule specific to each subject. The exams typically consist of multiple-choice and free-response sections, with certain subjects requiring portfolio submissions or performance assessments.
If a student’s high school does not offer AP courses or lacks the facilities to administer exams, they can register for the exams with Fulbright Commission (South Korea). Since May 2008, Fulbright Korea has been providing support for students seeking to take AP Exams.
